The wiki for our Blogfolio course is now up and online. There are only two pages so far — one for Student Blogging Rules and one for Student Blogging Questions. Feel free to check out the pages and to add your ideas or comments.
I was going to introduce a wiki in the classroom eventually, but David provided the perfect reason to do so when he said:
hey
bud we should start having a giant list that we can all enter and add
new rules and all they said was no last names and no saying the name of
our school and school apropiate correct.
i think that we need to
leave it open and flexable so that we can just deal with it when we
start to see problems instead of makeing them so defenite and trapping
ourselves in and it also allows us to be more open and have really cool
stuff going on without much boundaries except the necessary ones that
we have to set
Sure sounded like a wiki to me. Thanks, David.

I didn’t want to edit the Wiki page, but rule #4 is deliciously ironic: “check over your post for grammar errors”?!? The only thing you will find “over” a post is dust or fingerprints on the screen (or, in my case, a very annoying scratch).
Grammar and spelling, while important to learn so one doesn’t sound ignorant, are secondary to the ideas. The rule is understandable despite the misuse of a preposition.
I think this is an excellent experiment and your student’s blogs are great (except for the colors on Moe’s). Have you read Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card? Two of the protagonists are children pretending to be adults in a fictional version of the blogsphere.
